BVA uses the official federal index (most reliable). CAVC results are opened via a site search to uscourts.cavc.gov.

Using past decisions to your advantage

  • Mirror rating language: quote the text that matches your symptoms and Diagnostic Code.
  • Attach key pages when you file: initial claims, HLRs, Board appeals all benefit from examples.
  • Note limits: BVA decisions are non-precedential; CAVC opinions can be precedential or nonprecedential.
